First of all,<\/strong> after I ended my Latihan Ikhtisas<\/a>, I was astounded that I have to “maintain” my people.utm.my webpage or blog.\u00a0 Norah<\/a> told me that I need to maintain it on regular basis to make UTM visible.\u00a0 I was thinking at time, how am I going to do that<\/strong>?\u00a0 Norah<\/a> teaches me how to maintain it and in her own word “Ala, kau cuba tengok aku punya.\u00a0 Tak payah letak benda-benda serious pun.\u00a0 Aku letak resipi.\u00a0 Nanti ada bengkel webometrik<\/a> ni, jangan lupa pergi balik.\u00a0 Cuba ingat balik apa yang aku dengan Nihra<\/a> dulu pernah ajar.\u00a0 Kau pernah pergi kan yang bengkel<\/a> aku dengan Nihra buat dulu kat fakulti?<\/em>”\u00a0 [Translated:\u00a0<\/strong> Just look at mine. No need to put serious stuff.\u00a0 I put recipe.\u00a0 If there is a workshop on webometric, don’t forget to register and attend it.\u00a0 Refresh back what Nihra<\/a> and I have taught you before.\u00a0 You have attended the workshop that we conducted at the faculty, right?”]\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, I start to post various things that I think might be important to me or benefit others in one way or another especially certain posts that contain information that I get from attending workshop like TES workshop<\/a>, journal<\/a> and whatsnot.\u00a0 Like the half-day workshop on commercialization<\/a>\u00a0 and Intellectual Property<\/a> (IP) that I attended this morning (9 to 12 pm 25 June 2019, Tuesday),\u00a0 I think I have attended similar workshop<\/a> before I made some notes but I don’t remember where I put the notes now.\u00a0 \u00a0So, as I listen to the facilitator (and ask questions), I also write down the notes using this platform i.e. people.utm.my.\u00a0 So, perhaps there might be some colleagues who need some information about commercialization (for example), might use my webpage as a guide because I would also link whatever relevant webpage on the post (this is to ensure that I know where to get detailed information myself).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

One of my colleagues said that it is not right to just copy-paste link to here but in my case, I will make sure that I will put some introduction of the link that I provide.\u00a0 That’s the least I can do.<\/span><\/p>\n

Secondly,<\/strong> I am not getting any younger.\u00a0 So, I have the tendency now to forget things that I write on notebook and stuff.\u00a0 On top of that, I cannot share it with others immediately as compared to if I write it on a post like this.\u00a0 In a way that, I want to help others and myself just in case if we need some important information relevant to our work.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Of course, I also write nonsense random rambling like about cat<\/a>, recipes<\/a> and whatsnot.\u00a0 This is a way that I used to do when I did my PhD.\u00a0 When I experienced writer’s block, I would write blog.\u00a0 So, just to make sure that I would keep on writing no matter what.\u00a0 My former supervisor, Steve <\/a>said to me “Hadijah, if you cannot write or edit your thesis, don’t make yourself of not writing at all in a day.\u00a0 You need to keep on writing in different format, style or place.\u00a0 You will not lose the writing momentum<\/em>“.\u00a0 \u00a0After not writing any journal article for one whole year during Latihan Ikhtisas (except editing my students’ articles), I feel as if I am starting to lose my writing style.\u00a0 I need to do something about this.\u00a0 When I told Norah about it, with a smile on her face, she replied “Sebab tu lah kau kena tulis post kat sini, Dijah<\/em>” [Translated: That’s why you need to write any post here, Dijah].\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Thirdly,<\/strong> sometimes I forget how to do certain things even though there are posters about it such as how to apply leave using MyUTM,<\/a>\u00a0 or about conferences or events like Car Free Day<\/a>.\u00a0 I want to make sure that I can remember those events or conferences and at the same time, help to disseminate the information to others.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

There you go.\u00a0 My reasons of writing nonsense random rambling posts.\u00a0<\/span> \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
